Abstract

SAGAPA (System Architecture Generated from A Parallel Algorithm) is an image processing system design tool based on an original methodology that automatically carries out the minimal architecture adapted to the application algorithm in respect with a maximal execution time constraint. The obtained architecture is minimal in terms of number of processors, amount of memory, and complexity of interconnection network. An execution-driven type simulation is performed in order to estimate resource´s utilization and to check the time constraint
